The incident caused chaos in the bank. Police have arrested the accused security guard, who accidentally fired his gun. A normal day in the life of a 27-year-old farmer from a village took a tragic turn within minutes when he went to a bank to update his Aadhaar card and died after being shot in Delhi.
During the investigation, the police seized the gun used in the incident and sent it for forensic examination. Kumar’s post-mortem examination has also been conducted. The police are awaiting the post-mortem and forensic reports to determine the circumstances of the shooting. In addition, the police have also seized footage from CCTV cameras installed in the bank. Investigating officers are also examining whether security rules were followed and whether loading the weapon after the bank opened constitutes gross negligence.
Hearing the gunshot, bank employees and customers ran outside. They found Manish lying in a pool of blood. He was immediately rushed to Rao Tula Ram Hospital for treatment, where doctors declared him brought dead. When police arrived at the scene, they learned that the injured person had already been taken to the hospital. Further action will be taken based on the investigation and forensic report.
The gun went off either due to negligence or a technical issue, police said. At present, the police have registered a case against the accused security guard under Section 105 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and arrested him.
They received a call where the caller said that a gunshot had been fired from the bank guard’s gun, injuring one, according to the police. During the questioning, the security guard told police that he had arrived late for duty and while he was loading the gun, the bank had opened and employees and customers had already entered.
